Epoch 8TB 7.2K SATA server drive

This Epoch 400-AJVL is an 8TB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 7200 RPM with a SATA 6Gb/s interface. It is supplied as a replacement kit and is listed as new condition.

Suits high-capacity server storage.

This drive suits administrators adding bulk storage to compatible Dell rack or tower servers across the 12th, 13th and 14th generation families listed in the specifications. Builders needing a 2.5-inch form factor or a mobile storage device should look at other products because this unit is a 3.5-inch desktop drive designed for fixed server bays.

7200 RPM spindle speed for sustained throughput

The 7200 RPM rotation rate is the single specification that determines whether this drive delivers the sustained sequential performance required for typical server workloads such as bulk data ingest, archival storage or backup targets. If the application demands lower latency or higher random IOPS than a mechanical spindle can provide, a solid-state alternative would be the appropriate choice.

Questions about this item

Does the replacement kit include mounting brackets or cables, or do I need to buy them separately?

The kit supplies the 8 TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.5" drive; mounting brackets and data cables are not included and must be sourced from the server chassis.

Should I choose this 8 TB model or a smaller capacity for a Dell PowerEdge R630?

The 8 TB 7200 RPM SATA drive matches the R630 3.5" bay and 6 Gb/s controller; select it when maximum capacity per bay is required.

What does the 6 Gb/s SATA rating mean once the drive is installed in a PowerEdge R720?

The 6 Gb/s SATA link allows the 7200 RPM drive to deliver sustained throughput up to the controller limit, so sequential reads approach the interface ceiling in the R720.
